DELIVERY lorries will be able to drop off stock at Waitrose in Wellington until 11pm despite neighbours’ complaints about the potential for increased noise.

Planners at Taunton Deane Borough Council gave conditional approval to extend the existing 7am to 8pm delivery time.

Waitrose says it does not intend to increase the number of deliveries to the store from its current level of three to four. It said in its application that it needed the extra hours to ensure the store was fully stocked at all times.
